The Swan family

Both pics are wonderful - but I count six young ones in both of them?

Hi Erhard ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
Glad you like it.
Your observation is correct, but when I took the older photo one of them was out of the frame, so seven!
Best Wishes,

There is a kind gentleman who comes at 15:30hrs every day with food. They have learned this, and come here every day at that time.

Hi Peter,

What a beautiful family of swans! Can there be a more heartwarming sight! Sad that one is missing though. They did very well to take care of these.
An excellent picture.

Best wishes & take care,
Rosa.

Hi Rosa ,
Thank you for visiting!
Glad you like it.
Most of the village has been walking past here during lockdown, and everyone looks out for them since the day they were hatched! Unfortunately the non survival of some is natures way...

My dear Füsun
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
As you know, we have been walking along this river bank most of Corona days, and many times we have seen them. You are right, there were seven, but now only six. The way of nature, I suppose.
Here, they are approaching the metal footbridge. Usually we would walk along the right side of the river towards the garden centre, passing the bench, and the horses...
Best Wishes, and stay safe
Love Peter

Ah, they are s0 lovely. I'm sorry they lost one though. Nature is so painful. :(

Hi Karen ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
I see these most days when I go out for the allowed walk. Today there was still six, but I did hear that another one got tangled up in a fishing line, and a specialist rescue team came out around midnight to save it. Job well done!!
Best Wishes,
Peter

Whew...that's good news, Peter!
